Yainea created this card by stamping and embossing a sentiment from our Joy To The World stamp set onto a strip of Add A Little Dazzle's Scarlet Red Metal Sheet. The metal sheets are so easy to cut with a paper trimmer and our dies! I love the way Yainea used the smaller dies from our Finished Frames die set to create some metallic sequin-like accents to the card front as well. They are the perfect compliment to the Circle Tag and Noel die cuts. I just love all of the textures and layering!

Happy Friday! I hope that everyone had a great week! Today I have the pleasure of sharing two fastastic projects. Karolyn Loncon packaged this cute gift using the Happy Hanukkah sentiment from our Seasonal Sentiments stamp set and a tag from our Gift Tags Die Set. I love how cute this little package is. Someone is going to be so excited to receive it!

Hello! Today I have two fabulous projects to share with you. JJ Bolton used our Seasonal Sentiments stamp set and Cheers Wine Tag Die to create these cute gift card holders! Who knew that by scoring and folding the bottom of the wine tag up that it could be used in this way?! JJ's creativity is just brilliant!! These are so simple, pretty and easy to create!

Happy Wednesday! I am thrilled to share two AMAZING cards with you today. Yainea created this first card using our Joy To The World stamp set and Finished Frames die set. I love how she used the Santa Claus is coming to town circle as a moon! It is brilliant! Santa and his reindeer look so cute flying in the sky above the city. I just adore every single thing about this card!

Maska used our Be Jolly stamp and die set, Circle Tag and Noel dies to create this next card. I love all of the layers and texture that Maska includes in each project. It is so fun to look at all of the tiny details!

Hello! I hope that you are all having a fabulous day so far. Today I have some inspiration from Kasia and Chunyuan to share with you. Kasia used our Noel stamp set to create this bold and modern holiday card. I love how clean and simple it is. I can see creating this in a lot of different color combinations for quick mass produced cards!

Hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Today I have this card by Caryn Davies to share with you. Caryn used strips of green and red cardstock and adhered them to a piece of paper. She then ran the entire thing through a die cutting maching using our Season's Greetings Dies. I love the outcome. It is so clever and stunning! Be sure to check out Caryn's blog for more details.

Happy Friday! I hope that everyone had a fantastic week! Today I have two AMAZING projects to share with you. Check them out! Katie Gehring used our Fabulous Florals and Noel stamp sets to stamp this gorgeous scene onto a mat from our Finished Frames die. I love the color combination and layout! It is so fabulous, I could gaze at this all day long!!

I want to thank the challenge design team for all of their amazing inspiration, hard work and talent. Every single person on this team is just stellar and I am so glad that we were able to work with them for the last 6 months. Thank you Yana, Katie, Donna and Diana! It has been a true pleasure working with you and seeing your incredible challenge examples each week! You all rock! While the new challenge design team will start on October 1st, we still have this last challenge with our current team. Yay! Check it out here! Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

Hello! I have two holiday cards to share with you today. JJ Bolton stamped the ghost from our Boo clear stamps onto vellum and embossed it. I love the look it creates. She used the negative die cut from our We R Family Die to frame the fun images. I love how the stitches are on the outside of the frame. A few dark clouds and a vellum moon finish the look. Amazing as always!

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope that you are all having a great week so far. Today I have a fantastic page by Maska to share with you. She used our new Look Up stamp set to create it and I just love everything about it. The feathers, stars and sentiments look so great together!

Kasia used our Gift Tags Dies and North Pole stamp set to create this adorable gift tag. It is too too cute! Selectively inking the santa hat so that it only shows the words when stamped is a great way to get even more use out of this fabulous stamp set!

Hello! Today I have a treat for you. Chunyuan used our Be Jolly stamp and die set along with our Noel, Finished Frames and Custom Panels dies to create this cute winter themed card. She has a tutorial on how she created this glittery snowman over on her blog today. She may have a giveaway for you too. ;) Be sure to check it out here!

Hello! I hope that everyone had a great weekend. Today I have this holiday card by Yainea to share with you. She embossed the Merry Christmas sentiment from our new Seasonal Sentiments clear stamps onto black cardstock. By coloring the trees and Christmas word she was able to create some added interest. I just love this technique and twist on a chalkboard look!

Karolyn Loncon created this card using our Boo stamps and dies. I love the way that she used the Circle Tag as the moon. So creative!! While the tombstone dies aren't one of ours, they fit so well with the fun images! I love that!

I am so happy to announce the next term of the AEI♥U Challenge Design Team today as well. We have our existing challenge team
with us for a few more weeks and I as so thankful that we get to
keep working with them for a bit longer! The following four ladies are the next team that will be taking over from October through March. I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us! Our
first AEI♥U Challenge with this new team will take place on October 1st!

I’m
a retired Legal Assistant, married to Garry since 1980, and mom to Amy
(newly married to Joe) and Ashley (married to Blake and the mother to my
grandsons, Brecken and Brenner.) I’m blessed to live in Issaquah,
Washington in
the summer, and Chandler, Arizona in the winter – the best of both
worlds! I
love all things paper crafting, but especially stamping and
card-making. I love
to laugh, shop, travel, and play BINGO (don’t judge! LOL) I would
describe my personal crafting style as a mix of clean and simple,
graphic, and a bit of fun and cute thrown in for good measure.

My
love for paper and crafting began when my sister took me to a rubber stamp
convention over 20 years ago. Since then I’ve explored the arts of cardmaking,
scrapbooking, blogging, and most recently party planning. Originally from
northern California, I now call NYC home. I work
part-time in philanthropy supporting arts and social justice organizations
across the country and part-time at a local chocolate shop serving up tasty
sweets. In my spare time, I make, bake, and create all sorts of things from my
home in Brooklyn, NY...and my goal is to make sure that love and good wishes go
into everything I do.

My name is Heather, and I
blog over atHouses Built of
Cards. I have been married for
14 years to the man of my dreams, and have two sweet daughters age 11 and almost
10 that I homeschool. I absolutely LOVE making cards – and also enjoy
scrapbooking memories of my family.I
lived my entire life up until about two years in Northwestern Washington State,
and now live in a very small town in Wyoming – although that is about to change.
We don’t know exactly when or where we are moving yet, but are sure it will be
another great adventure! If you aren’t familiar with my blog name, then let me
explain a little! When I started card making, I quickly found that I was making
WAY more cards than I could possibly use. Thanks in part to my young daughters
and something they both cared deeply for, I decided to direct all the proceeds
from the sales of my cards to the building of houses for widows and their
children in Burundi, Africa, through a ministry called Sister Connection. Building one house is
amazingly just $600!!! I just finished the money portion of my 5th
house, and am continuing to work toward a 6th. If you are interested, you can
read more about that HERE.

I am super excited to be
joining the AEI♥U Challenge team! Starting with the very first time I tried
them, I have never failed to be impressed with the incredible quality and
perfectly crisp and clear images I get – not to mention the beautiful images,
sentiments, and designs!

Hi! My name is Lindsay Amrhein, and you might have seen me around. I
adore making cards, and sharing them on my blog, Note To Self, for going on over 4
years now! I enjoy many other things besides, like biking, camping, cooking,
and soon, farm living! I am the proud mom of two boys, Jonathan and Dallas, who
have an endless daily reserve of energy. I am wife to the most patient, and
loving man a woman could ask for. I am so glad I am able to provide inspiration
for you on the AEI♥U Challenge blog!

Happy Wednesday! I hope that everyone is having a great week so far. Today I have this festive page from Maska to share with you. She used our new Joy To The World stamps and dies on it and I just adore them! The gold and red color scheme is so festive! Do you see the gold stars and other die cut accents scattered around the page? They are from the smaller dies included in our Finished Frames Die Set. This die set is currently out of stock in our store but will be back within the week. We had an idea it was going to be popular so we wanted to make sure that we had a large reorder coming soon after the original release. :)

On another note, did you know that it is Stamptember® over at Simon Says Stamp this month? They are having a lot of festivities to celebrate and I know that you will find a ton of inspiration and specials over there. We were so excited to design this exclusive stamp set for them with 100% of the profits from the sales being donated to Operation Write Home.
The stamps are only available for sale during Stamptember® while
supplies last so be sure to pick one up if you love it and want to support this amazing cause.

If that wasn't enough, our very own Heather Campbell is on the Simon Says Stamp blog today with a fun project that you won't want to miss. Here is a little sneak peek.... Hop on over to see the entire project here.
